- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 7:00pm
With one more week of trivia to go at the Tam in 2019, the venue is already set a-sparkle with holiday lights and cheer. Despite the festive decorations, trivia teams wore their warpaint in a game that saw multiple reversals of fortune at the top. A tie-breaker in the Drinking Round saw Argentum best the Flux Capacitors, who ended up taking second place overall. Last week's winners - albeit with a different name - O'Trivia Newton John found themselves in second for the night, while N/A had a score good enough to win the game no matter what their name.

As the nights grow longer while we approach the festive season, trivia players huddle together to pool their warmth and their brains. Twas no exception at the Tam O'Shanter this night, where Twas the Night Before Impeachment triumphed in a census-based Drinking Round and went on to claim bronze in the night's overall game. Meanwhile, though the General Washingtons held the lead for much of the game, they fell to second place in the second half. Victory was claimed by a team of newcomers, whose luck at the Tam seems to be less than their luck with technology, for the handle for their winning group was My Apple TV Refuses to Update!

Tonight was a blast from the past, as your humble Quizmaster welcomed back the PA system that was standard many years ago. With sound clear and full, a night of questions and music was delivered without hiccup to the delight of the Tam. And delight there was indeed, for The Dorks found their way into the winners' circle by taking enough points to earn 3rd place. In a back-and-forth battle between regulars Flux Capacitors and General Washingtons, it was the Generals who ultimately clinched victory supreme.
